Peter Schilling - Major Tom & Terra Titanic (1983)
Of his follow-up songs only Terra Titanic, which I almost prefer, made it anywhere near the significance.
In 1989 Peter suffered from Burn-Out-Syndrome.

Lili Marleen (1915)
On 11 November, Armistice Day in most of Europe, remembering the end of a cruel and absolutely pointless war in Europe, I thought I draw your attention to this one:
Few internationally-known songs symbolise the two horrid World Wars in Europe of last the last century (1914-1918 and 1939-1945) more than the song Lili Marleen. - Here a little history of the song, together with the lyrics of it's original German version and many, many international adaptions.
The words were written in 1915 during World War I by Hans Leip (1893–1983), a school teacher from Hamburg who had been conscripted into the Imperial German Army. Hans Leip reportedly combined the names of his girlfriend and another female friend. The poem was published as 'Das Lied eines jungen Soldaten auf der Wacht' ('The Song of a Young Soldier on Watch') in 1937, now with the two last (of five) verses added. It was set to music by Norbert Schultze in 1938 and first recorded - contrary to popular belief by Lale Andersen - not Marlene Dietrich - in 1939.

After the occupation of Belgrade, Serbia, in 1941 Radio Belgrade became the German forces' radio station under the name of Soldatensender Belgrad (Soldiers' Radio Belgrade), with transmissions heard throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. While on leave in Vienna, a lieutenant working at the station was asked to collect some records for broadcast. Amongst the pile of second-hand records from the Reich radio station was the little known two-year-old song 'Lili Marleen' sung by Lale Andersen, which up til then had barely sold around 700 copies. For lack of other recordings, Radio Belgrade played the song frequently.
At one point the Nazi government's propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels, ordered broadcasting of the song to stop. Radio Belgrade received many letters from Axis (German & Italian) soldiers all over Europe asking them to play 'Lili Marleen' again. Goebbels reluctantly changed his mind, and from then on the tune was used to sign-off the broadcast at 9.55pm.
Its popularity quickly grew. Soldiers stationed around the Mediterranean, including both German Afrika Korps and British Eighth Army troops, regularly tuned in to hear it. Erwin Rommel, commander of the Afrika Korps, admired the song and asked Radio Belgrade to incorporate it into their broadcasts, which they did. Many Allied soldiers made a point of listening to it at the end of the day.
While the Italian version, translated by lyricist Nino Rastelli and recorded in 1942 by Lina Termini, was probably the first to be released, the earliest English language recording of the song was probably Anne Shelton's in 1944, but a number of cover versions followed. A version called 'The D-Day Dodgers' was sung by the Canadian Army remaining in Italy once the Normandy invasion had begun in 1944. A recording was made by Perry Como on 27 June 1944 and issued by RCA Victor Records.
International Lyrics:
German (Hans Leip, 1915)
1. Vor der Kaserne
Vor dem großen Tor
Stand eine Laterne
Und steht sie noch davor
So woll'n wir uns da wieder seh'n
Bei der Laterne wollen wir steh'n
|: Wie einst Lili Marleen. :|
2. Unsere beide Schatten
Sah'n wie einer aus
Daß wir so lieb uns hatten
Das sah man gleich daraus
Und alle Leute soll'n es seh'n
Wenn wir bei der Laterne steh'n
|: Wie einst Lili Marleen. :|
3. Schon rief der Posten,
Sie blasen Zapfenstreich
Das kann drei Tage kosten
Kam'rad, ich komm sogleich
Da sagten wir auf Wiedersehen
Wie gerne wollt ich mit dir geh'n
|: Mit dir Lili Marleen. :|
4. Deine Schritte kennt sie,
Deinen zieren Gang
Alle Abend brennt sie,
Doch mich vergaß sie lang
Und sollte mir ein Leids gescheh'n
Wer wird bei der Laterne stehen
|: Mit dir Lili Marleen? :|
5. Aus dem stillen Raume,
Aus der Erde Grund
Hebt mich wie im Traume
Dein verliebter Mund
Wenn sich die späten Nebel drehn
Werd' ich bei der Laterne steh'n
|: Wie einst Lili Marleen. :|
English literal translation:
1. At the barracks compound,
By the entry way
There a lantern I found
And if it stands today
Then we'll see each other again
Near that old lantern we'll remain
As once Lili Marleen.
2. Both our shadows meeting,
Melding into one
Our love was not fleeting
And plain to everyone,
Then all the people shall behold
When we stand by that lantern old
As once Lili Marleen.
3. Then the guard to me says:
"There's tap call, let's go.
This could cost you three days."
"Be there in half a mo'."
So that was when we said farewell,
Tho' with you I would rather dwell,
With you, Lili Marleen.
4. Well she knows your foot steps,
Your own determined gait.
Ev'ry evening waiting,
Me? A mem'ry of late.
Should something e'er happen to me,
Who will under the lantern be,
With you Lili Marleen?
5. From my quiet existence,
And from this earthly pale,
Like a dream you free me,
With your lips so hale.
When the night mists swirl and churn,
Then to that lantern I'll return,
As once Lili Marleen.
English version (Tommie Connor, 1944)
Underneath the lantern,
By the barrack gate
Darling I remember
The way you used to wait
T'was there that you whispered tenderly,
That you loved me,
You'd always be,
My Lilli of the Lamplight,
My own Lilli Marlene
Time would come for roll call,
Time for us to part,
Darling I'd caress you
And press you to my heart,
And there 'neath that far-off lantern light,
I'd hold you tight ,
We'd kiss good night,
My Lilli of the Lamplight,
My own Lilli Marlene
Orders came for sailing,
Somewhere over there
All confined to barracks
was more than I could bear
I knew you were waiting in the street
I heard your feet,
But could not meet,
My Lilly of the Lamplight,
my own Lilly Marlene
Resting in our billets,
Just behind the lines
Even tho' we're parted,
Your lips are close to mine
You wait where that lantern softly gleams,
Your sweet face seems
To haunt my dreams
My Lilly of the Lamplight,
My own Lilly Marlene
Italian version:
Tutte le sere
sotto quel fanal
presso la caserma
ti stavo ad aspettar.
Anche stasera aspetterò,
e tutto il mondo scorderò
|: con te Lili Marleen :|
O trombettier
stasera non suonar,
una volta ancora
la voglio salutar.
Addio piccina, dolce amor,
ti porterò per sempre in cor
|: con me Lili Marleen :|
Prendi una rosa
da tener sul cuor
legala col filo
dei tuoi capelli d'or.
Forse domani piangerai,
ma dopo tu sorriderai.
|: A chi Lili Marleen? :|
Quando nel fango
debbo camminar
sotto il mio bottino
mi sento vacillar.
Che cosa mai sarà di me?
Ma poi sorrido e penso a te
|: a te Lili Marleen :|
Se chiudo gli occhi
il viso tuo m'appar
come quella sera
nel cerchio del fanal.
Tutte le notti sogno allor
di ritornar, di riposar,
|: con te Lili Marleen :|
French version:
Devant la caserne
Quand le jour s'enfuit,
La vieille lanterne
Soudain s'allume et luit.
C'est dans ce coin là que le soir
On s'attendait remplis d'espoir
|: Tous deux, Lily Marlène. :|
Et dans la nuit sombre
Nos corps enlacés
Ne faisaient qu'une ombre
Lorsque je t'embrassais.
Nous échangions ingénûment
Joue contre joue bien des serments
|: Tous deux, Lily Marlène. :|
Le temps passe vite
Lorsque l'on est deux!
Hélas on se quitte
Voici le couvre-feu...
Te souviens-tu de nos regrets
Lorsqu'il fallait nous séparer?
|: Dis-moi, Lily Marlène? :|
La vieille lanterne
S'allume toujours
Devant la caserne
Lorsque finit le jour
Mais tout me paraît étrange
Aurais-je donc beaucoup changé?
|: Dis-moi, Lily Marlène. :|
Cette tendre histoire
De nos chers vingt ans
Chante en ma mémoire
Malgré les jours, les ans.
Il me semble entendre ton pas
Et je te serre entre mes bras
|: Lily...Lily Marlène :|
Russian version:
Перед казармой
У больших ворот
Фонарь во мраке светит,
Светит круглый год.
Словно свеча любви горя,
Стояли мы у фонаря
С тобой, Лили Марлен.
Обе наши тени
Слились тогда в одну,
Обнявшись мы застыли
У любви в плену.
Каждый прохожий знал про нас,
Что мы вдвоем в последний раз,
С тобой, Лили Марлен.
Часовой кричит мне:
Труба играет сбор!
Пойдешь на гауптвахту,
Кончай свой разговор!
Друг мой, прощай, auf Wiedersehen.
Ах, как хочу уйти я с ней,
С моей Лили Марлен.
Фонарь во мраке ночи
У ворот горит.
Твои шаги он знает,
А я уже забыт.
Сердце болит в краю чужом -
Вдруг ты с другим под фонарем,
Моя Лили Марлен.
В тесной землянке,
Укрывшись от огня,
О тебе мечтаю,
Милая моя.
Снова наступит тишина,
И к фонарю придет она
Ко мне, Лили Марлен.
Dutch version (Herre de Vos, 1940)
Onder de lantaren, bij de groote poort,
vrijen vele paren bij avond ongestoord.
Als ik van boord kom, ga 'k meteen
terstond naar die lantaren heen,
met jou Lili Marleen, met jou Lili Marleen!
Onder de lantaren, heel dicht bij elkaar...
dat verliefd wij waren, zag wel een ieder daar!
En elk die glimlacht - naar ik meen -
gaat hij langs die lantaren heen:
om ons Lili Marleen, om ons Lili Marleen!
Onder de lantaren, werd een sein gehoord,
dat kwam van de baren en riep mij weer aan boord!
Ik zei vaarwel en ging toen heen,
bij de lantaren stond alleen,
mijn schat Lili Marleen, mijn schat Lili Marleen!
Onder de lantaren, loop jij nu mijn kind...
Ik ben weer gaan varen en zwalk door weer en wind.
Soms is mijn hart zoo zwaar als steen
en dan gaan mijn gedachten heen
naar jou Lili Marleen, naar jou Lili Marleen!
Spanish version:
Al salir de España
Sola se quedó,
llorando mi marcha
La niña de mi amor.
Cuando partía el tren de allí
Le dijo así mi corazón:
Me voy pensando en ti,
Adiós, Lili Marlen.
Aunque la distancia
Vive entre los dos,
Yo siempre estoy cerca
De tu claro sol,
Pues cuando tu carta llega a mí,
Se alegra así mi corazón,
Que sólo pienso en ti,
Soñando con tu amor.
Cuando vuelva a España
Con mi División
Llenará de flores
Mi niña su balcón.
Yo seré entonces tan feliz
Que no sabré mas que decir:
Mi amor, Lili Marlen,
Mi amor es para ti.
Danish version:
På den stolte skude
fjernt fra hjemmets strand
står den tavse sømand
og længes hjem i land.
Tænker, mens skibet står mod nord,
på den, som i hans hjerte bor,
på sin Lili Marleen,
kun om Lili Marleen.
Det var på en knejpe
i Marseilles havn,
at han pluds'lig hørte
det nu så søde navn;
mændene talte kun om een
med ravnsort hår og slanke ben,
kun om Lili Marleen,
kun om Lili Marleen.
Det var kærlighed ved
første øjekast,
men i dag så står han
med hende last og brast;
for da han fried', fik han ja,
og han blev gift den næste da'
med sin Lili Marleen,
med sin Lili Marleen.
Og når fra det fjerne
Peter vender hjem,
er en grøn lanterne
det tegn, der viser frem.
Han ved, når rejsen, den er endt,
så står hun dér og venter spændt,
hans eg'n Lili Marleen,
hans eg'n Lili Marleen.
Hungarian version:
Csöndes az éjjel, sehol semmi fény
Õrszem áll a vártán, derék magyar legény
Nagy Muszkaföldrõl gondol rám
A sóhajtása száll hozzám
Szeretlek Márikám, szeretlek Márikám
Üzenetem néki míg csak leírom
Könnyeimtõl ázik a levélpapírom
Elküldöm mégis gyorspostán
Mert érzem, épp most gondol rám
Felsóhajt Márikám, felsóhajt Márikám
Kinn a Muszkaföldön tombol már a tél
Jancsikám szívébe a síró szél zenél
S õ egyre ott áll a vártán
Szerelmes szívvel csak vár rám
S azt súgja: Márikám, szeretlek Márikám
Amióta elment róla álmodom
Érte szenvedek és csak néki szól dalom
Elbúcsúzott ottan némán
Csak annyit mondott várj énrám
Én szívem, Márikám, én szívem, Márikám
Istenem teremtõm adj szívembe erõt
Ne kelljen már várnom, hozd vissza nékem õt
Add hogy ne sírjak én árván
Ki tárt karral és úgy vár rám
Úgy súgja: Márikám, szerelmem, Márikám
Finnish version:
Kasarmimme eessä suuri portti on,
Illan pimetessä jään lyhdyn valohon.
Menneessä jälleen kohdataan,
ja lyhdyn alla haastellaan,
|: kuin ennen Liisa pien´. :|
Huomas kaikki heti, meitä katsoessaan,
Et´ lempi yhteen veti, kun yks´ jäi varjo vaan.
Menneessä kaikki kyllä saan,
jos lyhdyn alla rakastaa,
|: Sun kanssas´ Liisa pien´. :|
Iltahuudon hetki liian pian sai, vois tulla kallis retki,
Siks´ nyt jo lähden ain.
Sulle nyt kuiskaan näkemiin,
vaik´ tahtoisin mä kaupunkiin,
|: Sun kanssas´ Liisa pien´. :|
Askeleesi siellä, kauniin käyntis myös,
ne tuntee lyhdyn siellä, mi´ jälleen loistaa yös´.
Jos en mä enää tavallain,
sen lyhdyn alla seisoain,
|: Sun kanssas´ Liisa pien´. :|
Kaikki sumuun häipyy, maa ja taivaskin,
Huulillasi säihkyy nimi rakkahin.
Luokses mä unelmissain saan,
taas lyhdyn alla kohdataan,
|: Kuin ennen Liisa pien´. :|
Polish version:
Światło mrok rozgarnia,
bo u koszar bram
Pali się latarnia,
którą dobrze znam.
Zobaczyć ciebie w wieczór ten
W jej blasku chcę
Lili Marleen,
Tak chcę, Lili Marleen.
Zbliżasz się i oto
wśród latarni lśnień,
Cienie dwa się splotą
w jeden wspólny cień.
Niech wszyscy ujrzą obraz ten,
Mój cień i twój,
Lili Marleen,
I twój, Lili Marleen.
Słyszę twoje kroki,
a złociste skry
Twarz twą rzeźbią w mroku,
ból sprawiają mi
Kto będzie z tobą w wieczór ten
I noc po świt,
Lili Marleen,
Po świt, Lili Marleen.
Lecz gdy w otchłań runę,
mocno wierzę że
Jeden pocałunek
twój ocali mnie,
Znów będziesz ze mną w wieczór ten
I noc po świt,
Lili Marleene,
Po świt, Lili Marleen.

Istenem teremtõm adj szívembe erõt
Ne kelljen már várnom, hozd vissza nékem õt
Add hogy ne sírjak én árván
Ki tárt karral és úgy vár rám
Úgy súgja: Márikám, szerelmem, Márikám
Finnish version:
Kasarmimme eessä suuri portti on,
Illan pimetessä jään lyhdyn valohon.
Menneessä jälleen kohdataan,
ja lyhdyn alla haastellaan,
|: kuin ennen Liisa pien´. :|
Huomas kaikki heti, meitä katsoessaan,
Et´ lempi yhteen veti, kun yks´ jäi varjo vaan.
Menneessä kaikki kyllä saan,
jos lyhdyn alla rakastaa,
|: Sun kanssas´ Liisa pien´. :|
Iltahuudon hetki liian pian sai, vois tulla kallis retki,
Siks´ nyt jo lähden ain.
Sulle nyt kuiskaan näkemiin,
vaik´ tahtoisin mä kaupunkiin,
|: Sun kanssas´ Liisa pien´. :|
Askeleesi siellä, kauniin käyntis myös,
ne tuntee lyhdyn siellä, mi´ jälleen loistaa yös´.
Jos en mä enää tavallain,
sen lyhdyn alla seisoain,
|: Sun kanssas´ Liisa pien´. :|
Kaikki sumuun häipyy, maa ja taivaskin,
Huulillasi säihkyy nimi rakkahin.
Luokses mä unelmissain saan,
taas lyhdyn alla kohdataan,
|: Kuin ennen Liisa pien´. :|
Polish version:
Światło mrok rozgarnia,
bo u koszar bram
Pali się latarnia,
którą dobrze znam.
Zobaczyć ciebie w wieczór ten
W jej blasku chcę
Lili Marleen,
Tak chcę, Lili Marleen.
Zbliżasz się i oto
wśród latarni lśnień,
Cienie dwa się splotą
w jeden wspólny cień.
Niech wszyscy ujrzą obraz ten,
Mój cień i twój,
Lili Marleen,
I twój, Lili Marleen.
Słyszę twoje kroki,
a złociste skry
Twarz twą rzeźbią w mroku,
ból sprawiają mi
Kto będzie z tobą w wieczór ten
I noc po świt,
Lili Marleen,
Po świt, Lili Marleen.
Lecz gdy w otchłań runę,
mocno wierzę że
Jeden pocałunek
twój ocali mnie,
Znów będziesz ze mną w wieczór ten
I noc po świt,
Lili Marleene,
Po świt, Lili Marleen.

Lyrics:
Steh auf, zieh dich an
Jetzt sind andre Geister dran
Ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir, ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir
Fenster auf, Musik ganz laut
Das letzte Eis ist aufgetaut
Ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir, ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir
Wir alle sind aus Sternenstaub
In unseren Augen warmer Glanz
Wir sind noch immer nicht zerbrochen, wir sind ganz
Du bist vom selben Stern
Ich kann deinen Herzschlag hör'n
Du bist vom selben Stern
Wie ich (wie ich – wie ich)
Weil dich die gleiche Stimme lenkt
Und du am gleichen Faden hängst
Weil du das Selbe denkst
Wie ich (wie ich - wie ich)
Tanz durch dein Zimmer, heb mal ab
Tanz durch die Strassen
Tanz durch die Stadt
Ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir, ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir
Lass uns zusammen uns're Bahnen zieh'n
Wir fliegen heute noch über Berlin
Ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir, ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir
Wir alle sind aus Sternenstaub
In unseren Augen warmer Glanz
Wir sind noch immer nicht zerbrochen, wir sind ganz
Du bist vom selben Stern
Ich kann deinen Herzschlag hör'n
Du bist vom selben Stern
Wie ich (wie ich - wie ich)
Weil dich die gleiche Stimme lenkt
Und du am gleichen Faden hängst
Weil du das Selbe denkst
Wie ich (wie ich – wie ich)
Ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir...
ich nehm' den Schmerz von dir
Du bist vom selben Stern
Ich kann deinen Herzschlag hör'n
Du bist vom selben Stern
Wie ich (wie ich - wie ich)
Weil dich die gleiche Stimme lenkt
Und du am gleichen Faden hängst
Weil du das Selbe denkst
Wie ich (wie ich - wie ich)
English translation:
Get up, get dressed
Now other spirits have their turn
I’ll take your pain away, I’ll take your pain away
Window open, music real loud
The last ice has melted
I'll take your pain away, I'll take your pain away
We’re all made of star dust
In our eyes a warm sparkle
We’re still not shattered, we’re whole
You’re from the same star
I can hear your heartbeat
You’re from the same star
I am (I am – I am)
Because the same voice guides you
And you’re hanging by the same thread
Because you think the same thing
I do (I do - I do)
Dance through your room, take off
Dance through the streets
Dance through the city
I’ll take your pain away, I’ll take your pain away
Let’s orbit together
We’re still flying over Berlin today
I’ll take your pain away, I’ll take your pain away
We’re all made of star dust
In our eyes a warm sparkle
We’re still not shattered, we’re whole
You’re from the same star
I can hear your heartbeat
You’re from the same star
I am (I am – I am)
Because the same voice guides you
And you’re hanging by the same thread
Because you think the same thing
I do (I do - I do)
I’ll take your pain away...
I'll take your pain away
You’re from the same star
I can hear your heartbeat
You’re from the same star
I am (I am - I am)
Because the same voice guides you
And you’re hanging by the same thread
Because you think the same thing
I do (I do - I do)
Donna Summer - I Feel Love (1977) + cover versions & remixes
May 1977: LaDonna Andrea Gaines, a.k.a. Donna Summer, released her album I Remember Yesterday, produced by Giorgio Moroder. The album contained tracks which should represent several decades of the 20th century: 'I Remember Yesterday' represented the 1940s, 'Love's Unkind' the 50s and 'Back in Love Again' the 60s. The album concluded with the then futuristic 'I Feel Love'.
As with Donna's four previous albums, different record labels distributed her work in different nations. Some of the labels chose to release the ballad 'Can't We Just Sit Down (And Talk It Over)' as the first single, with 'I Feel Love' as the B-side, but the impact of the song was so huge that it was soon released internationally as a standalone A-side.
Previous disco tracks had usually been backed by an acoustic orchestra, while 'I Feel Love' was the first ever track to use an entirely synthesized backing track, which would later help develop the music genres Dance and Techno. The repetitive vocals over the backing track helped make the song a massive hit. It finally gave Donna the follow-up 'Love to Love You Baby'.
'I Feel Love' put Donna Summer firmly in her place as the leading female artist of Disco.
The track is so genius that it has been covered endless times, from likely artists such as Blondie, Jimmy Somerville & Marc Almond and Madonna to such unlikely groups as he Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Finnish Psychadelic Rock band Kingston Wall.
Blatant samples of the basic bass track were used by Cher ('All Or Nothing' in 1998) and Moloko ('Sing It Back' in 1999).
Last Year, Gucci ran a TV advertising campaign video, directed by Chris Cunningham, for their scent Flora, which used the song in a trace version.

Schiller - Dream of You (2001) + I Feel You (2004)
The duo soon had creative differences and Mirko departed, leaving Christopher to continue on his own.
Christopher does not provide vocals for any of his compositions. Instead, he chooses to collaborate with singers from within and outside of Germany. Musicians and vocalists who have worked with Schiller include Ben Becker, Moya Brennan of the Celtic group Clannad, Sarah Brightman, Peter Heppner of the German synth pop band Wolfsheim, Xavier Naidoo, Kim Sanders, Ana Torroja, lead singer of the Spanish pop group Mecano, Mike Oldfield, Damae of Fragma and many, many more.
Schiller's collaboration with Wolfsheim's Peter Heppner resulted in 2 very distinctly melancholic tracks: 'Dream of You' and 'I Feel You'.

Lyrics:
I've been here all the time
As far as I know doing right
I've always waited for the moment
That you would come through my door
But this brought loneliness so far
I lay my hand onto my heart
Is this the life I want to live
Is this the dream I had of you?
But this brought loneliness so far
I lay my hand onto my heart
Is this the life I want to live
Is this the dream I had of you...
the dream I had of you?
Now I'm standing here alone
I'm waiting on my own
For something that will fill the emptiness inside
The moment that you're mine
But this is loneliness I know
I lay my hand onto my soul
Is this what life has got to give
Is this the dream I had of you...
The dream I had of you?
But this is loneliness I know
I lay my hand onto my soul
Is this what life has got to give?
Is this the dream,
the dream I had of you?

In every leaf of every tree
You've ever grown
That you ever might have grown
I feel you...
In every thing
In every river that might flow
In every seed you might have sown
I feel you...
In every vein
In every beating of my heart
Each breath I take
In every breath I'll ever take
I feel you...
Anyway...
In every tear that i might shed
In every word i've never said
I feel you...

The Underdog Project - Summer Jam (2000,'03 &'10)
The Underdog Project has four members: Vic Krishna, Craig Smart (both vocals), DJ Frank (remixes) and AJ Duncan (keyboards). They formed when Vic was visiting Germany and had a jam session with his fellow-Canadian Craig, which went well, so they started recording - mostly demo tapes, but also full-fledged tracks.
The band's most popular track, 'Summer Jam' was one of the biggest pop hits in Europe. At one point, the original released in Germany in November 2000, was on the rotation list of every pop radio station in the country. It also received much attention in the UK and the US, where it was released the year after. MTV Germany and VIVA, a local rival music TV channel at the time, both supported the video, adding even more exposure. The biggest dance radio station in New York City, WKTU, also expressed support for the record and added it to their playlist, as well as market leader Power 96 in Miami.
The track was re-released several times, and features on pretty much every Summer Song Compilation there is.
Most notable was the 2003 version versus the Sunclub, which reached #1 the Dutch and Belgian charts, as well as climbing into the Top20 of several other countries.

Lyrics:
Try to tell me something,
try to tell me how it feels,
build it up to beat it down again,
all the things you're hiding,
all the games you play with me,
build it up to beat it down again.
Suspicious love,
froze my natural laugh,
and I need to change,
but something keeps me here.
I feel I know,
I won't let it grow,
and I need to change,
but something keeps me here,
I refuse to crawl.
Got to tell you something,
got to tell you how it feels,
once built up and beaten down again.
Promises once spoken,
all the warmth you gave to me
Leave me always somehow inbetween.
I'd like to see you crawling.

Modern Talking
You can see I by now have been off sick for a week, can't you..? LOL no, not sick in the head, as you may think and spit right now - to resort to Modern Talking, of all things..., haha.
Seriously though, if this doesn't make you weep for what you have spend you precious pocket money back then, you may at perhaps shed a tear for nostalgic reasons. Those clothes, this hair, those tunes...
Modern Talking 1985
First formed at the end of 1984, Dieter Bohlen and Thomas Anders unexpectedly became immensely popular with their synthpop hit single 'You're My Heart, You're My Soul', with which they occupied the No.1 position in 35 countries including, of course, in Germany, where the single perched at the top for six consecutive weeks. Dieter Bohlen, wary of he was about to hit the world with, wrote the song under the synonym Steve Benson.
The single eventually went on to sell 8 million copies worldwide!
During their two year peak, between 1985 and 1987, Modern Talking were successful in Europe, Asia, South America, Middle East, particularly in Iran, where all Western pop music was banned after the 1979 Islamic revolution. In the United Kingdom they entered the Top5 only once with the song 'Brother Louie'. Like most European pop acts, they were almost unknown in North America, never appearing in the US charts, although they did become one hit wonders in Canada when 'Brother Louie'. They released two albums a year, while also promoting their singles on TV all over Europe, eventually selling a breathtaking 65 million records within three years!
... and better they did, because already in late 1986 people in Germany were getting increasingly fed up with the same old stuff, they started buying their singles only to roll over and destroy them with all kinds of machinery. Clearly Modern Talking had missed the boat on trends in the music industry and the success began to fizzle out. Just look at the slipping peak chart positions with every new single release.
Eventually people started bitching about Thomas Anders' fake perma-tan, his supposed-girlfriend 'Nora' (blimmin'!), which appeared to muscle in ever more into their band business. All this was a welcome reason for Dieter Bohlen to call it all off and make his own way. A bitter, very public and most times sub-intelligent media feud started, mostly to blame on Dieter Bohlen, who persistently and very openly took the mickey (to say the very least) out of Thomas Anders.
After the duo split up in 1987, Dieter formed his own project Blue System and - miraculously - enjoyed several high chart positions with tracks like 'Sorry Little Sarah' and 'My Bed Is Too Big', continuing in his commercial, out-of-touch style.
Thomas went solo and recorded some of his new pop-like material in Los Angeles and London. As a solo artist, he toured in places like Moscow, Sun City, Hong Kong and Santiago de Chile during which time he would sing songs from his pop solo albums, in the meantime keeping his fans satisfied with former Modern Talking material. He recorded five solo albums in English and one album in Spanish. Unsurprisingly, he found more success in foreign countries than at home.
Despite all the quarrels and disagreements that Dieter Bohlen and Thomas Anders experienced between themselves in the past, they began keeping in touch again after Anders moved back to Germany in 1994.
In the beginning of 1998 the duo reunited, and had their first performance together on Germany's biggest TV show 'Wetten, dass..?' They re-started things off with the re-packaged version of their single 'You're My Heart, You're My Soul', though the single no longer sounded like a Europop track, instead it was a typical up-tempo Eurodance number featuring rapper Eric Singleton on the rap vocals. Their first comeback album Back for Good which included four new tracks as well as all of the previous hits redone with modern techniques stayed at number one position in Germany for five consecutive weeks and managed to top the charts in 15 countries, eventually selling 6 million copies worldwide.
Modern Talking 2002
The duo won the award at World Music Awards for being the Best Selling German Band that year.
Bohlen and Anders followed 1980s Modern Talking pattern as they chose to release two singles from each album as in the past. A series of singles and four more albums followed.
After reaching the point where they had already collected over 400 gold and platinum awards worldwide, Modern Talking decided to split up again in 2003, just before the release of another of their album compiled of best-songs. The second break-up seemed to have again been triggered mainly from the negative portrayal of Thomas by Dieter written in his autobiographical book published at the end of 2003.
In the course of all the disputes which eventually drove the duo to its break-up, Bohlen was involved in 'Deutschland sucht den Superstar', the German edition of the UK's Pop Idol.
Modern Talking is considered as the most successful German band ever and with over 120 million albums sold in the top 30 worldwide. Only artists such as ABBA, Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones or The Beatles outrank Modern Talking internationally.

Their first comeback album Back for Good which included four new tracks as well as all of the previous hits redone with modern techniques stayed at number one position in Germany for five consecutive weeks and managed to top the charts in 15 countries, eventually selling 6 million copies worldwide.
Modern Talking 2002
Bohlen and Anders followed 1980s Modern Talking pattern as they chose to release two singles from each album as in the past. A series of singles and four more albums followed.
After reaching the point where they had already collected over 400 gold and platinum awards worldwide, Modern Talking decided to split up again in 2003, just before the release of another of their album compiled of best-songs. The second break-up seemed to have again been triggered mainly from the negative portrayal of Thomas by Dieter written in his autobiographical book published at the end of 2003.
In the course of all the disputes which eventually drove the duo to its break-up, Bohlen was involved in 'Deutschland sucht den Superstar', the German edition of the UK's Pop Idol.
Modern Talking is considered as the most successful German band ever and with over 120 million albums sold in the top 30 worldwide. Only artists such as ABBA, Elvis Presley, the Rolling Stones or The Beatles outrank Modern Talking internationally.

Lyrics
Open up ya eyes and watch the sun rise
One part of me I've been made clear
Love that goes spread all the world
My love, ya, comes out of devotion
To rule, ya, spread to the world
In Jamestown I'm on my mission
Where we praise the day straight our way
All the nation
Let me be the love that comes form the sun
Let me be your rainbow rising up
Every single race out of space
We'll shine on - shine on!
Let me be the love that comes from the sun
I wanna be your love light from above
Shine on, shine on, shine on!
My love, ya, comes out of devotion
To rule, ya, spread to the world
In Jamestown I'm on my mission
Where we praise the day straight our way
All the nation
Let me be the love that comes from the sun
Let me be your rainbow rising up
Every single race out of space
We'll shine on - shine on!
Let me be the love that comes from the sun
I wanna be your love light from above
Shine on, shine on, shine on!

Sandra - Maria Magdalena(1985)HD by alexandru2006
Lyrics:
You take my love
You want my soul
I would be crazy to share your life
Why can't you see what I am
Sharpen the senses and turn the knife
Hurt me and you'll understand
I'll never be Maria Magdalena
(You're a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(you're a victim of the fight)
(you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
Why must I lie
Find alibis
When will you wake up and realize
I can't surrender to you
Play for affection andv Win the prize
I know those party games too
I'll never be Maria Magdalena
(You're a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(you're a victim of the fight)
(you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
Ardian Bujupi
Now I know reality TV and talent search shows are this and that, and I am not the biggest fan of careers starting of from such shows, but this one is different:
Deutschland Sucht Den Superstar (DSDS), the German equivalant to Pop- and American Idol, has been running since 2002 on Europe's largest private TV broadcasting station RTL, and this year was no different. The show finished last night with Pietro Lombardi being the winner and Sarah Engels being the runner-up. Whilst Pietro won perhaps on popularity, Sarah Engels showed that there is huge singing talent in Germany. But it is the third through the finishing line that caught my attention for dedication, passion, talent and versatility:
Ardian Bujupi was born on 27 April 1991 in Kosovo. To escape the horrors of the Balkan War at the time, Ardian's family sought refuge in Germany and since the age of 1 lives in Heidelberg, Baden-Wuerttemberg. Having recently passed his A-Level, he decided to participate in this year's run of DSDS. Here are some of his stage performances, covering a wide repotoire ranging from current Bruno Mars' 'Grenade' to jazzy Michael Buble, from soulful James Brown to German Xavier Naidoo, the latter two of which gave me the serious goosebumps...
